I found this thread very
interesting.
Steven: Nothing in astrology works for
everyone.
Allen: And indeed, if this is truly the case,
then astrology will never be accepted as a science.
Lenore: I say 'unique', but actually all of art
and all of science is predicated upon looking out into the chaos, perceiving
form and drawing conclusions.
I have another two cents to add:
Astrology is really the study of
potentialities. The relative ability to manifest the potentialities
inherent in the chart are shown in the complexes that make up the chart, but
even then you have twins with virtually the same chart that play out the
different sides of the complexes and behave completely differently. The
fact that we cannot predict the future accurately and that we cannot predict
exactly how each human being will respond to the instincts of their birthchart
is what constitutes the mystery of life.
Some charts are more sensitive to the vagaries of
the moon's cycles and therefore will be more sensitive eclipses, and others
with natures that are more grounded or fixed will not. I have a T-square
in fixed signs and Saturn on the Sun square to Uranus, and I too have never
noticeably experienced the effect of eclipses, unless they hit the sensitive
points in my chart.
Thanks again for the opportunity to be on this
list! What a gift.
